VOLUME XVHI.

TYNER CITY. There were about eleven hundred people in Tyner Saturday night to see the Cleveland bond fire. Hats were no object. They say A. D. Johnson will have another sale soon and he says everything go s but the woman and she is gone again. The fellow who was trying to break ’.m the doors bad better be making himself invisible. The big wind factory has shut down here since Cleveland was elected. It •' throws about 1,000 men out of employment.

Look out for a surprise in next week’s items. Tell your neighbors to subscribe for the Independent if they want to be surprised next week. Chauncy Hale, of North Liberty, was in Tyner Monday buying calves. Say, who was that man that lost his wife on Cleveland ? Bill Clark has bought property here and will build soon. That grave yard act will be looki 1 after soon. They are wondering who will be our next postmaster. G. F. Jarrell had a time with his clerks the other day. J. E. Johnson & Co. shipped a car of stock on Monday. J. H. S. । ~LA PAZ. 1 Frank Weuer moved to South Bend ’ last Monday. We are sorry to lose । such a good citizen. He sold his t black smith shop and the lot on which , . It stands to James Saupp. I । l s .aac Shears is m living in Frank 0

IM house on last Monday. He is now a 1 citizen of LaPaz. School is now held in the new school a house. Wm. Hosteller is principal and Miss Laura Boss assistant. Elder Daniel Rothenberger, of Kosciusko Co., was visiting his son George and other friends and relatives, and attended the German Baptist coin munion meeting, 3^ miles nortwest of this place, on last Friday evening. He •went home last Monday. G. P. Rothenberger was at Warsaw, on business last Monday. Jacob Leedy and family, of South Bend, and Mrs. Stull, sister of Mrs. Leedy, were visiting their cousin, George P. Rothenberger, and family. The Leedy family went home on Sat urday and Mrs. Stull and children Monday. Prentice Angel, of South Bend, is visiting G. P. Rothenberger’s. • Health is generally good and the doctors complain of having very lit tle to do. A very disgraceful affair occurred

on last Saturday night. Pres. Harrison was hung in effigy on the republican pole. His picture in a wooden frame hung above the effigy, properly L trimmed in mourning. How low and degraded some human beings are. It is KJSfc.. extremely shameful when we consider ■P^jSlr. Harrison’s recent sad bereavement. „ There are better persons in our state’s SSf prison than such vile characters. A coffin was made by some mean ' scamps, containing a glass lid, with Harrison’s picture in it and placed at Leonard Logan’s door on last Monday Mk night. Decent democrats will not endorse such meanness . Quite a number of boys and older “W- citizens were summoned to appear before the grand jury to-day (Wednes-

For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of Ray City, Mich., accidently spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief. It’s a wonderfully good salve for burns, bruises, sores, and a sure cure for piles. J. Emily

HAUSLER AS A HUNTER. | He Shows Alleged Chicago Sports How to Hunt Ducks—His Visit to Walkerton, Ind. The South Chicago Daily Calumet । says. Last Saturday Louis Hausler, ( of the East Side, accompanied James Franklin Duffy to his preserve, located near Koontz lake. Now, Louis has not lived for twenty years in the Cal - umet swamps lor nothing, and few men have had the experience in wild fowl shooting that Louis has. He took along an old gun that used to be a pinfire, but has been changed to a center fire. When the new club house of the Pottowatomie Fruit company was

leached quite a party of Chicago sports were present. When morning came they all began to get ready to go for ducks. Quite a contrast was presented

by the appearance of Andrew Rehm, John Benning, Philip Lobstein, Dressier, Wetzell, Muertz and quite a number of those present, who were dressed in the finest hunting suits mo-iey could buy. They had fine guns, in leather cases, and elegant hunting boats that cost hundreds of d ollars. Louis Hausler had on an old peaked canvas cap that cost about 50 cents, while his coat, also of canvas, did not cost much more. His ancient firearm presented quite a contrast to the hammerless guns of his companions. Stepping outside Hausler asked for a boat and was shown one that he could use. He told And f Rehm that if that was the best he had he (Hausler) would make him a present of a fine canoe, which Andy agreed to accept. Louis pushed off in his old craft, leaving his companions to get out their boats with cushioned seats, etc. Some of the crowd watched Louis as he silently shoved his boat along the shore and, getting to the windward of a flock of ducks, let his boat drift toward them until the birds got up, when his old gun rang mffand a pair of maljards fell into the

MMBMiiii miwmi uiuu IMm returned he had seventeen big fat ducks in the bottom of his boat. In the meantime the other members of the party had been out and returned, but not one of them had a feather. They couldn’t understand how the thing was done, and if any one in Chi cage thinks he can give Louis Hausler pointers on how to hunt the festive duck or any other bird that flies, he is left—badly left. ” Touchy People. In reference to a very disagreeable class of people a shrewd observer of human nature writes as follows : “There are people—yes, many people —always looking for slights. They cannot carry on the daily intercourse of the family without finding that some offense is designed. They are as touchy as hairtriggers. If they meet an acquaintance who happens to be preoccupied with business, they attribute his distraction in some mode personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fruit of their irritability. Indigestion makes them see impertinence in everyone

with whom they come in contact. Innocent persons, who never dreamed of giving offense, are astonished to find some irrelevant word or momentary taciturnity mistaken for an insult. To say the least, the habit is unfortunate. It is wiser to tai the more charitable view of our felk v-beings and not suppose that a slight was intended, unless the neglect is open ana direct. After all, too, life takes its hue, in a great degree, from the color of our own mind. If we are frank and generous the world will treat us kindly; if, on the contrary, we are suspicious, men will learn to be cold and cautions to us. Let a person get the reputation of being ‘touchy,’ and everybody is under restraint, and in this way the chances of an imaginary

offense are vastly increased.” NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting held at the Seven th Day Adventists church, North Liberty, on the evening of Nov. 30, 1892, for the purpose of organizing a warden and vestryman society, electing trustees, buying or selling real estate, and ’ transacting any other business that

o V may lawfully come before the meeting. W. R. Carpenter. Enoch Swartz. Nov. 15,1892. Piles of people have piles, but De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cun them. J- Emily.

The low price of cotton in the southern states, where he does a large business, is assigned as the cause. It is said that regular trains wil’ be put on the Wabash extension between Montpelier and Millersburg about the 20th inst. Trains will doubtless be running through North Liberty before the winter closes. Katherine Dureck, an insane woman, committed suicide at South Bend on Friday of last week by drowning in the river.

On November 26, 29 and December 2 the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will sell excursion tickets to Chicago, HL, at a very low rate, on account of the National Horse Show, to be held November 28 to December 3, 1892. Tickets will be good for return passage for live days, including day of sale. The Milford Mail will enlarge from a six to a seven-column quarto, this step being rendered necessary owing to its increasing advertising patronage. The Independent may be compelled to do likewise before a great while if its business continues to grow’ as it has in the past.

It is now settled, says the Indianapolis Journal, that the Illinois, Indiana & Michigan, which is really an extension ’ of the three “I’s” road, will be built. The right of way has been secured 1 from Michigan City to Hammond, and ! it is stated that the contracts for its ‘ construction will be let next week, t The building of this piece of road is of ’’ more importance than may appear at first glance, as it will be used by the J ’ Chicago & West Michigan to get into Chicago, and probably by the Lake e Erie & Western, as the latter company e has made overtures, it is stated, look I ing to such a result.
